Great saves live long in the memory, I genuinely think this might be the best ever.
He`s on as a sub goalie.
He`s like 57 years old.
Pretty much the last kick of the ball.
Missed it at the weekend but heard Roughie talk about it on PLZ podcast and he was talking how great it was that the players really bought into what had just happened, what it meant and celebrated it like a goal.
Magestic stuff from a world class footballer, that save might secure him a start v Haiti and if Hearts win the title we may well look back on this save as a defining moment.
Roughie recalls the sad night at Ninnian Park when we lost big Jock and Jock`s inspiring words as he replaced Jim Leighton, the last words he ever spoke to him...."right ya fat ******* yer on!"
I`m sure the word of encouragement offered to Craig as he went on were more suitable for a moder audience.
